The project is contained in the Petroleum Reconciliation Report 2014, as completed and serving its purpose in the community.

However, under a partnership program between DFID, and ACEP to investigate projects funded with Ghana's oil money, it has emerged that the kindergarten school said to have been completed is not available.

Dr Ackah said the Finance Ministry has refused to show evidence of the classroom block claimed to have been built.

He added that ACEP is currently preparing a detailed report on the matter.

Meanwhile, the former Municipal Chief Executive of Dormaa, Godwin Asubonteng has confirmed that no such project has been built in the area.
